Sweet dumplings with cottage cheese
Description
I think anyone can make vareniki. Even a cooking beginner will manage this task by following the step-by-step recipe. I use my favorite sour cream-based dough here—it's easy to work with and doesn't stick to the hands or countertop. Use cottage cheese of any fat content and add sugar to taste. These soft and delicious vareniki make a perfect breakfast, afternoon snack, or dinner. If you don't plan to eat them right away, just freeze them and cook later as desired.
